Chapter 43
Huo Mansion
Huo Rui, Huo Ze and their colleagues spent an entire afternoon and finally removed all the weeds in the vegetable garden. After returning home, he looked unhappy and walked to Madam Huo's yard with a dusty and dirty face.
Old Madam Huo and Mrs. Huo were playing with Huo An in the inner room. They were shocked to see Huo Rui so dirty, thinking he was being bullied.
"What's going on? My poor little Rui'er." Old Madam Huo felt distressed.
Mrs. Huo also quickly asked someone to prepare hot water and asked the maid to take him to wash.
"Great-grandmother, grandmother, you have to make the decision for your grandson." Huo Rui pretended to be aggrieved.
Madam Huo said, "What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll take care of it for you."
"Yes...it's mother!" Huo Rui tried to squeeze out a few tears, but failed, so he had to give up. He continued to complain, "My great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother instigated my teacher to let my grandson weed the vegetable garden."
As he spoke, he stretched out his little hand, and saw a small blister on the palm.
Seeing this, Mrs. Huo flew into a rage and said, "How dare Luo, who dares to abuse my good grandson like this? I thought she was not good at poetry and literature, but she was still a good person. Now it seems that she was just pretending."
"Mother, let's let Ayan come and ask what's going on." Mrs. Huo was not as protective of her grandson as Old Lady Huo. Although she loved her grandson very much, she was still very rational. She always felt that her daughter-in-law would not be so vicious.
"What's going on? What else could it be?" Old Madam Huo snorted coldly and said, "I guess they think they can bully our little Rui'er just because they are not under our noses."
When Huo An heard what they said, his face wrinkled, he raised his hand and waved, saying, "No... No!"
Seeing that he actually spoke for that woman, Huo Rui glared at him angrily.
Huo An was not afraid of him. He pointed at his brother and said, "Bad!" Then he turned away from him, with a silly look on his face.
This made both Old Madam Huo and Mrs. Huo couldn't help laughing.
Luo Chaoyan, who was standing outside the door and eavesdropped, was very happy. It seemed that the little fat boy was a good guy and knew how to protect her as the breeder. Uh...no! It’s stepmother!
Luo Chaoyan adjusted her clothes and headdress, walked in gracefully, and bowed to the two elders, "Grandma! Mother!"
Huo An was very happy to see her come in, "Mother!"
He straightened his small body and tried to get down from the couch. But Huo Rui stopped him as if in revenge and refused to let him get down from the couch. He was so angry that he used his chubby little hands to hit him, "Brother! Bad boy!"
"Ayan, what is going on?" asked Mrs. Huo.
Luo Chaoyan pursed her lips, with some hesitation on her face. She looked at Madam Huo and then at the old lady who was glaring at her, and said, "Grandma, mother, I didn't want to tell you about Xiao Rui'er's school affairs to make you worry, but now I can only tell you the truth."
"Today, the old lady taught the Analects of Confucius. In order to deepen the students' impression of the book, the teacher asked us to play a chain game. The loser would be punished by weeding the vegetable garden. Little Ruier was not paying attention in class today, so naturally he didn't remember many sentences. In the end, the teacher had no choice but to punish him by weeding."
"Then why didn't you stop them? There are so many ways to punish, why did you have to let our little Ruier weed? Look, there are blisters all over." Old Madam Huo looked distressed again.
"Grandma, this idea was hers. She deliberately wanted to make her grandson suffer." Huo Rui complained.
"What!" Old Madam Huo slammed the table in anger.
When Huo An saw the old lady gasping for breath, he quickly went over and patted her on the back: "Great...grandmother." His mother had told him that if his great-grandmother was angry, he could pat her on the back and she would stop being angry.
Sure enough, the expression on Mrs. Huo's face looked better. She rubbed Huo An approvingly. I feel warm in my heart.
"Grandma, please listen to me." Luo Chaoyan said, "A few days ago, the teacher taught us that if God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry, his body empty, and his actions frustrated."
"Xiao Rui'er will have to shoulder the burden of the Huo family in the future, so he must go through all kinds of difficulties and hardships so that he can have the ability to rule the world on his own in the future."
Mrs. Huo nodded, looked at Old Madam Huo and said, "What Ah Yan said doesn't make sense."
"But he is only five years old. Isn't it too early?" It must be said that Mrs. Huo agreed with what she said. As the person in charge of the Huo family's grandchildren, the responsibility is not small. If you want to protect a family business that has lasted for a century, you must go through some hardships before you have the ability to take power. .
Luo Chaoyan said, "Grandma, I have benefited a lot from going to school these days. The old lady said that if you don't work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old. So no matter what you learn, you must start from a young age."
Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "It seems that it was right for grandma to ask you to go to school."
Madam Huo said, "That's not the case. Back then, she was not happy about it."
hehe! Old lady, I'm not very happy now, okay! Luo Chaoyan thought to herself.
Mrs. Huo tapped Huo Rui's forehead and said angrily, "Your mother has good intentions, so don't blame her."
"That's right, Xiaorui, you are a petty person and don't blame your mother. Otherwise, when the teacher punishes you in the future, I will stop him?" Luo Chaoyan said in a negotiating tone.
Huo Rui didn't expect that she could coax her great-grandmother and grandmother over with just a few words. Gritting teeth in anger. How could he not know that this woman might say nice things on the surface, but she might use some shady tricks in the future?
When Luo Chaoyan returned to her courtyard, Shu Lan told her that Yin Miaoshan had come to Kyoto. Now living in Luo Mansion.
"Why is my cousin here suddenly?" Luo Chaoyan asked.
Shu Lan said, "I heard from Madam Lu that Miss Cousin is not doing well. She has lost a lot of weight."
Luo Chaoyan couldn't sit still after hearing that. Her cousin had a similar personality to hers, both of them were playful and heartless. Now that she was like this, she must be feeling depressed. She had to go see her.
"Shu Lan, pack your things and we'll go home tomorrow."
Shu Lan nodded. In fact, she had already started preparing things when Nanny Lu came to tell her.
In the evening, when Luo Chaoyan and Huo Jin were having dinner, she told Huo Jin that she wanted to go back to her parents' home.
Huo Jin asked, "Do you want me to send someone to the palace to invite the imperial physician?"
Luo Chaoyan's eyes lit up and said, "Is it okay?" It would be best if we could bring an imperial physician back to see my cousin.
Huo Jin said: "Of course."
Luo Chaoyan quickly picked up a chicken leg for him and said, "My dear, you are so kind. Thank you for your help!"
Huo Jin looked at the chicken legs in the bowl. Usually, she had the exclusive right to have these roasted chicken legs. The corners of his lips curled slightly.
"My dear, please be a good person and tell my grandmother to let me go back to my parents' home tomorrow."
Huo Jin said, "Okay." He paused and asked, "Do you need me to take you back tomorrow?"
Luo Chaoyan shook her head and said, "My dear, you are so busy with official duties, so I won't bother you. I can go back by myself."
"Then I'll pick you up and take you home in the evening?" Huo Rui said.
Luo Chaoyan nodded and said yes.
